A toy track assembly having a first and second support column, the first and second support columns each including at least one first opening. The assembly can also include a track connector, wherein the track connector includes a first and second threaded male member, wherein the first threaded male member is received within the first opening of the first support column and the second threaded male member is received within the first opening of the second support column. In addition, the assembly can include a first and second fastener, wherein, via a threaded engagement, the first fastener is coupled to the first threaded male member and the second fastener is coupled to the second threaded male member, thereby securing the track connector to the first and second support columns.

A toy vehicle track set is provided. The toy vehicle track set comprises a plurality of track segments. Each track segment of the plurality of track segments has a coupling portion and a plurality of lanes for toy vehicles to race along. The plurality of track segments may be collectively positioned in a racing configuration or a transport configuration. The track segments are coupled together to form a multi-lane raceway in the racing configuration. One or more track segments of the plurality of track segments are positioned to form a rectilinear transport structure in the transport configuration.

A toy vehicle track set according to present invention includes a first track portion, a second track portion, a base to which the first and second track portions are coupled, and a carriage. At least one of the first track portion and the second track portion is repositionable about the base with respect to the other track portion and the carriage is movably coupled to the base. The carriage is positionable proximate to the first track portion, the second track portion, or both the first and second track portions.

A toy vehicle (1) configured for running on rails (21), the toy vehicle (1) comprises a chassis (10) comprising a first end (3) and a second end (4), two side faces (5, 6) extending in the longitudinal direction of the toy vehicle (1) and a top portion (7), the toy vehicle comprising at least two axels (11), said at least two axels (11) each comprising two wheels (15) wherein the chassis (10) comprises at least two flexible flanges (17), the two flexible flanges 17 being positioned opposite each other on both sides of the chassis 10 on each side faces 5,6, each flexible flange (17) comprising a snap protrusion (18) at the extremity of the flanges (17), the snap protrusions (18) extending towards each other in a direction parallel to the extension of said at least two axels (11), the at least two flexible flanges being flexible in a direction away from each other in a direction transverse the longitudinal direction of the toy vehicle, such that the snap protrusions (18) are adapted to slide past an outer surface of a set of rails.

A toy vehicle track system includes a lifting apparatus, a releasing apparatus, and a stunt apparatus. The lifting apparatus includes a drive wheel rotatable to pull a carrier line attached to a carrier including a vehicle holder that is positioned for holding a toy vehicle. 5 The release apparatus includes a stop structure attached to the track that engages the carrier to actuate calipers of the vehicle holder to release the vehicle. The stunt apparatus includes a plurality of stunt track segments attached to a rotary indexer. The rotary indexer allows the stunt track segments to be rotated about an axis that is substantially parallel to a travel direction defined by the toy track to align each of the stunt track segments 10 individually with the toy track to form a continuous travel path.

A train track of embodiments of the disclosed technology is bendable in a vertical and/or horizontal plane. This is accomplished by having connectors on either side of two rails which can change in length. The rail, between the connectors, is bendable. Further, a hinged top of a block is used to attach the track to the block when the angle of the lower side changes in combination with an elevation change.

A toy is disclosed for a segmented tube track kit. The toy comprises a tube, comprised of reversibly attachable tubes. In one embodiment, the tube segments are held together frictionally. In another embodiment, tube segments are held together by locking mechanisms consisting of projections and cutouts. The toy vehicle in the kit has a drive wheel which is forced up away from the body of the car and against the inner walls of the tube by resilient members. In another embodiment, the vehicle has a tumbler wheel at the front of the car.
